We, my family made a day on the TN portion of it a few years back. We stopped and hiked almost all the trails to the waterfalls and observations spots. It’s was October so it wasn’t hot and made for an enjoyable experience. If y’all like the outdoors I’d recommend it. I wish I had brought binoculars, because there was lots of wildlife to view.

Yes, I seen that. Beating Pearl is quite a feat. I really thought this was Marshall county’s year, but Pearl beat them. Pearl was down 21 points in the fourth quarter against Marshall on the road and came back to win. If it wasn’t hunting season, I’d make the trip to C-town and watch a few games.

My son plays in 4A. They got beat in OT in the first round. Melrose is a tough ball team. I hope Macon County puts it on them Saturday.

Just an update in case anyone searches in the future. I have learned the factory 3” guns have a steel receiver, while the 2 3/4” guns have an aluminum receiver. Makes sense as to why the gun is so light in weight. It does seem one can still swap barrels between the two.

Still closed as of the other day.

I’ve got an older model Franchi Al48 12 gauge, 2 3/4” chamber shotgun. I see some 3” chamber barrels available online. Would it really be as easy as swapping barrels or is there something I’m missing? Are the receivers different from a 2 3/4” gun to a 3” gun? While I got your attention anyone sitting on any Franchi choke tubes they’re looking to sell?

Not sure if you found some, but if you ever head west the Sportsman Store in Dickson had #6’s last time I was in there.

Many years ago I did this. I was a gopher/grunt for an electrician my first job out of high school. My task was to pull a piece of romex through the attic of preschool/daycare one morning. Needless to stay I made a misstep and stuck a boot through the concealed grid ceiling. It didn’t help there were preschoolers in attendance at the same time .

You are correct. I too read that post on FB, “spring of 2023”…

Still closed I see. Must have hit the mother lode of lead piles.

I've seen that holster before, like you I wondered the same thing about the magazine being on the same side as your firearm. As for having the magazine and firearm together, I have a sidecar holster that I carry appendix and it works well. Firearm on my strong/right side, magazine canted toward my left/offhand.

I have lost two chickens over the years to possum's. They were silkies, which are know for being very gentle and tame. I actually had one of the "kills" on a game camera inside the coop. As for possums getting a pass because they eat ticks, not around here they don't. As long as they're raiding turkey nests, they'll get a rimfire round. I can't remember where the link was about them eating ticks, but what I read was it a controlled environment study. The possum was trapped and only feed ticks to survive.

My preferred setup as well. When I figure out this picture size thing, I'll share my 22/45 suppressed setup.

We use no less than #6 shot in our .410's when we're hunting. My son and I hunt similar to what you're describing, he shoots a .410, I shoot a 22lr and it's over the back of our cur dog.

Been following this thread, as I've been in the market for a .458 upper after my latest can purchase. Looks like I got more reading to do before I commit to a certain brand.
